Visitors at the 1955 Careers festival follow their interests through the maze of more than 100
booths. This year these booths will represent 55 different vocational areas ranging from the profes-sions
to utilities. They will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
A double emphasis on vocations is being featured this week in the
Careers festival held at St. Thomas college, April 10-12, and Vocations
week held on Bethel's campus, April 9-13.
The careers festival is sponsored by the College of St. Thomas,
with the cooperation of Augsburg college, Bethel college, College of
St. Catherine, Hamline Universi-ty,
and Macalester college. There
will be 100 exhibits booths repre-senting
all of the major employ-ment
fields. At Bethel's own booth
Bonnie Carlson and Glenn Ogren,
members of the planning commit-tee,
will be present to give infor-mation.
The emphasis on vocations this
week at Bethel is to be presented
in the form of the morning chapel
services, with messages given on
the topic, "What my Vocation
Means to Me as a Christian."
Speakers for the remainder of the
week are
Booths will be set up in the
Armory and O'Shaughnessy hall
at St. Thomas and will be open
from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Thursday: Dr. Wall—Medical
work
Vocations week in this way is
an innovation at Bethel. In pre-vious
years, special forums have
been held in the evenings. How-ever,
this new type of vocational
emphasis, working together with
the -Careers festival, promises cer-tain
advantages.
The purpose of Careers festival
is to offer vocational guidance to
the young people of this area
through the medium of exhibits,
films, literature and conferences
in an informal yet serious atmo-sphere
and aesthetic setting. They
will be able to obtain at first
hand questions from superbly
qualified representatives of busi-ness,
industry, government, and
the professions. The festival will

of in leading next year's Stu-dent
Senate will be summed up in
the motto : "I can through Christ."
I trust that it will be a year of

350,000 U.S. Loan
For Housing Granted th CLARION The Government Housing and Home Financing Agency has recently Vol. XXXIII—No. 16 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Wednesday, April 11, 1956

struction of additional wings on both Edgren
Plans for these new structures are being drawn by the Corwin
Association and will include rooms
for 80 new students in the Edgren
additions and 60 in the Bodien.

After Elections - -
Well, now that Ogren has been elected the most popular man on
campus, the question is, "Will he improve the Senate or will he just
close his eyes to its weaknesses?" Because, although it was asserted
in the last Student association meeting that the student government has
been good this year, there are many glaring weaknesses in it at the
present time.
For one thing, if the Student Senate is to be worth while, the stu-dents
must feel that it is their governing body and that they are repre-sented
on it. How can this be so when many of the Senate members
are not responsible to anyone but are appointed by the Senate?
We feel that functional representation should be entirely elimin-ated.
For instance, the CLARION should not have a voting representa-tive
on the Senate, although a reporter should be allowed to cover
meetings. And the council chairmen should not have votes because they
are appointed by the Senate, not chosen by the electorate.
For another thing, the Senate—we feel—should be cut down to
nine or ten members. This would allow the members to be known by
the people they represent; it would give their position prestige; and
it would make for more efficiency. Furthermore, it would allow the
students to hold their representatives responsible. They would be able
to buttonhole their representative and demand action on social life,
intra-murals, cultural activities or whatever they are interested in.
We feel, Mr. Ogren, that these two changes would give the Senate
back to the people and that this is necessary if we are to have good
student government at Bethel.
On Academic Freedom
(Editor's note: Following is a reprint of an NSA editorial written
by the editor of the Texas university "Daily Texan.")
We look upon the Regent's pressure for a stricter interpretation
of the Texas Student Publications Handbook and their order of "closer
scrutiny" on editorial matter as a fundamental threat to the 55-year
Daily Texan tradition . . .
Freedom of inquiry, criticism, and nonconformity are guaranteed
in our state and federal constitutions now almost 200 years old. It is
ironic, however, that each generation has to regain these liberties for
itself. But this is not wholly a misfortune. For there are dangers in
taking too much for granted. Freedoms defended are the most precious
of freedoms; liberties lost and regained are the most cherished of liber-ties.
And doomed is the generation that lacks integrity to protect its
birthright.
If we falter here at this University, by surrendering the right
reaJm so broad_ as state government, s,, r-rendering
under the pretext of preserving the "good name" of the
University and protecting it financially, we will have absolved the very
principles upon which this university, this newspaper, a hundred uni-versities
and a hundred newspapers are constructed.
What man can ask us to do that?
Yet far too many Americans interpret our liberty as merely abstract
principle rather than real conduct. It is our conduct that must preserve
the principle .. .
Henry Steele Commager, the great historian, has traced the broad
implications of our trouble.
We have been busy of late, Commager says, calculating our
strength and the strength of our potential enemies, the totalitarian
states.
Whatever may be this balance of strength, he believes, there is
one realm where our superiority is beyond challenge, and where it
cannot be lost except by our own will. "Ours is a system of freedom,"
he writes, "freedom of inquiry, of investigation, of criticism, of crea-tion.
So, if then, in the name of security, loyalty, politics, or appropria-tions,
we start sacrificing our freedom, we will ultimately sacrifice
our security as well. It is not logical that on the campuses of our
American universities, traditional guardians of our practical and philo-sophical
liberties, we should prove to the world and to ourselves that
free expression and human rights are not only workable but necessary?
The moment our philosophy bows before the fear of politics or money,
or both, on a university campus, we are doomed as a nation and as a
way of life.

Prepared
Preparing for the mission field isn't just learning a strange lan-guage
and being immersed in Scriptures though that may be highly
important. Grace Jolly, Edmonton, Alberta Canadian, will admit to
the truth of this not only in word but in action, too. Having been a
teacher for some time and graduated from Bible school, Grace came
to Bethel last fall to complete her college education. These all have
contributed in her path to missions. But there are other factors.
One is a basic interest in people whose culture and background are
different from ours—just start her talking of "Granny" Dick Calahoo
and the Cree indians or that "swell little Chinese fellow Charlie Huey."
At popular demand she has offered to share her exotic Chinese recipes!!
Also, Grace has a quiet, seeking soul—one that you can't help
realizing as being in some dynamic way in quest of reality and truth
and joy, and she believes it is in Christ.
Lastly, she has proved to students and faculty, in spite of her
insisting she is not ambitious, she can and does work and work hard.
Still she can find time to have a cup of coffee and win many friends
and admirers.
Some missionary, huh?
Slott ear
by Marjory Peterson
Spring has turned quite a few heads at Bethel. A new hair-do is
the basic criteria for being "in the club." While most of these trans-formations
are purchased at great price from a Frenchman named
Anthony or Mike, some have that hand-made look. These arrangements
reveal character traits otherwise carefully hidden.
The Chinese hair-do is occasionally seen. It has that chop-chop
look. This girl is thrifty. She cuts her own hair. The effect is lovely
except for the long spot in the middle of the back where she can't quite
reach, and the one-inch cut on the side which happened accidentally
when her buzzer rang. (That was an accident also.)
The long, very flowing locks indicate either that this is a glamour
girl or that this thinks it is a glamour girl. Before deciding, check the
weather—the streaming effect could also be the result of a rain storm.
By far the most popular style is the swept-back chignon with cal-culated
side waves. This originated for the "heavy-date" occasion, but
has since become more common. Now it also could denote spring fever
or an experiment in self-expression. The girl who adopts this hair-do
may have a split personality.
More revolutionary is the non-parted look. This is carried out
with a mass of baby curls or else the straight back long, lean, look. This
hair-do is favored by girls with hysterical tendencies.
An amateur psychoanalyst would have a field day with these
styles and their many subtle variations. For myself, I prefer the crew-cut.
Met Tickets
NowOnSale
Tickets for the Metropolitan
opera on May 18 to 20 went on sale
yesterday and may be purchased
now through the opera ticket office
at 106 Northrup auditorium.
Four operas will be performed
by the "Met" in Northrup audi-torium
during their annual ap-pearance
here. To be presented are:
"Boris Godunov" on Friday even-ing,
May 18 "Rigoletto" on Satur-day
afternoon, May 19; "Aida" on
Saturday evenin, May 19; and "Die
Meister—singer von Nuernburg"
on Sunday afternoon, May 20.
"Aida" has been performed more
than any opera in the Metropolitan
reportoire—over 400 times.
Moberg, Voight
Present Paper
A paper entitled "The Protestant
Minister and Social Work," pre-pared
by David 0. Moberg, chair-man
of the department of social
sciences and Russell Voight, sem-inary
student, will be presented
on Friday, April 13 at the annual
meeting of the Midwest sociological
society.
The paper was prepared on the
basis of a research project Russell
did in the spring of 1954 for a
course in "the Church as a Social
Institution, taught by Dr. Moberg.
Dr. Moberg did some additional
analysis of Russell's findings,
wrote it up in article form and
submitted it to be read.
Zereeta to
Ederol
Dear Editor:
Re: your last editorial concern-ing
the "library problem." It ap-pears
to us that your evaluation
of the action taken by the library
staff, upon the recommendation of
the library subcommittee, was in-effective
and certainly did not get
at the real problem.
Your proposed solution of heavy-handed
discipline frocri the outside
—"hired private detectives"—and
the implied kiddishness of the stu-dents
is, we think, harsh and in-sulting.
Maybe Bethel students are
babies, but a dictator sitting in
the librarian's office will not help
us grow up.
We believe that it is not neces-sarily
a matter of immaturity. It
seems to be more a matter of tra-dition.
The letter by J. M. bears
this idea out, I think. Noise, fel-lowship
and the library have been
synonymous for years and "our
examples"—the seminarians—who
have spent a larger while here just
take these things to be self evident
and they are most casual about the
whole matter.
But the attempts of the library
subcommittee haven't been a big
useless fiasco, we think. These
mechanical improvements—moving
the phonographs and art viewers,
moving the pencil sharpener, quiet-ening
the telephones—may seem
superficial but now rowdies can be
showed up more easily. It is hard
to hear that noisy knock in the
motor if the whole car rattles.
Besides this—and this we feel
is a great step—the studen'c now
have a seat in the faculty library
committee. So what? ? It means
that students ARF concerned about
a quiet library and we are grown
up enough to be able to do some-thing
about it and the faculty com-mittee
apparently thinks so too.

Orison
by Shirley Anderson
Because You have made me, God,
and because You have made this
day I would now commit both into
Your watchful care.
I am too easily dragged along
by time. Today I would stand up
and walk with it, with my eye to
You and my hands to those who
will be a part of my life this day.
Help me to be more concerned
about being a friend than having
one.
Help me to be thankful for the
boiled potatoes and the surprise
tests.
Help me to find You, God, in
everything I do. And having found
You, let me enjoy You.
Help me to be satisfied that You
give me all I need, and dissatis-fied
if I do not do all I can with it.
And when this day closes, God, I
want to know that someone is
happier because I lived.
I've come to You with all of this
because of Jesus Christ.
Amen
New Display
In Center
Etchings and life sketches from
the University of Minnesota art
gallery were placed in the student
center last week by the art depart-ment.
The etchings in the lounge are
by Gian Battista Piranesi, an 18
century engraver who spent many
years in Rome making etchings of
the ruins.
Ivan Mestrovic, a contemporary
Yugoslavian sculpter, has his work
displayed in the eating area.

The student body is urged to support this year's baseball team.
The first two games are to be played at Hamline and Macalester. Both
of these fields are within convenient distances. The boost in morale
which this would give the team would show up in the box score.
* * * *
The infield of this year's Royal squad will be considerably increased
in its potential power. This along with some increased hitting power
should give some insurance to the squad for a winning season.
* *
The pitching staff will be overworked this year, as most of the
work will be shouldered by Al Stahnke and Mark Nyberg.
*
The lease with the Fair Board and the advent of warm weather
has reduced the hazards involved in entering the fieldhouse during
the past week.
* * * *
Anyone wishing to challenge Mr. Healy to a badminton game can
breathe easier. Mr. Healy recently had an attack of consciencitis and
refuses to bloop any over the net, (unless he's behind).

Tennis Courts Tried;
Golf Workouts Begin
The golf and tennis teams fol-lowed
suit to the rest of the teams
as they began their workouts
outside.
The tennis team held their first
workout on the new courts Tues-day.
Although still a little damp,
the courts gave returning letter-men
Al Mesko, Hank Pedersen,
and Bob Fischer the opportunity
to loosen up. The tentative list of
newcomers to the tens squad in-cludes
Bob Swanson, Terry Bot-tenfield,
Bob Shields, Ken Fuller,
Bill Lathrop, Jim MacFadyen and
Phil Caldeen.
The golf squad behind return-ing
lettermen Bill Conrad, Bill
Larson and George Visel began
working out in preparation for
their first encounter. Bob Humes
and Terry Bottenfield have also
been with the team.

Larson Elected
Baseball Captain
Dale Larson, co-captain last
year, was chosen captain of this
year's baseball team again.
After playing shortstop for two
years, he is being shifted to sec-ond
base where he played in high
school.
While Dale was a good short-stop,
he is without doubt a better
second baseman since he will not
have to worry about the throws to
first. As far as hitting, he slugged
about .350 last year.
Team Moves Outside
The Bethel Royal baseball nine
finally saw daylight as they held
their first outdoor practice session
of the 1956 season.
The Lundin men took to the
great outdoors for their practice
session on April 3, as they pre-pare
to meet Hamline in their
first tilt of the new season.
The Royals got their share of
fielding practice, as Lundin primed
his charges for their season opener.
The infield, which during practice,
has seen Jack Kibby at first, Dale
Larson on the keystone, Bob Sin-gleton
at shortstop, Ken Albright
on third and Ed Brunzell behind
the plate, went through their first
unrestricted drills.
The outfield also got an arm
loosening session as Wes Larson
in right, Jack Tierney in center,
and John Berg in left sharpened
their throwing.
The Royals begin their season
as they face Hamline on the Piper
field, Friday, April 13. Their sec-ond
tilt of the new season will find
the Bethel nine tangling with Mac-alester,
on the Mac's field.
The prospects are for a stronger
infield with increased hitting power
over last year's crew. With the
loss of Frank Burleson, the pitch-ing
staff will have their work cut
out for them. Mark Nyberg and Al
Stahnke are expected to see ex-tensive
action on the mound.
The schdeule is as follows:
April 13—Hamline—T-2:30 p.m.

Moves Over To
Fair Grounds
The Royal cindermen under the
direction of Coach Gerald Healy,
also made their move to the out-side
practice track on Tuesday.
The team utilized for the first
time the newly acquired lease with
the Minnesota State Fair board.
The new area gives sufficient space
for the track men to work out on.
The workouts have consisted
mainly of fundamental condition-ing

"Ban Jo, Hums, you've done it
again! How did you do it?"
"Alimentary, my dear Katsup,

called to Bethel college and mon-astery
to investigate a case of
curve-raising.
"Upon arriving at about 11:45
Saturday night, I picked an in-conspicuous
spot in the doorway
of the women's dormitory and
watched the proceedings, but I
couldn't make out—er—just what
was going on. However, I was

Bass' law that opposite bodies
should attract.' At 12 o'clock the
law was repealed and the scene
was soon deserted.
"As the next day was Sunday,
I went to Bedside Baptist where I
saw several Bethel students dream-ily
engrossed in the minister's
sermon on "Heavenly Rest." After
a quiet evening at sister Fern's
I sacked in for a good night's
sleep in preparation for a hard
day's work.
"Next morning I took up my
post in the coffee shop, but I
couldn't understand the language.
They kept talking about bears,
frights, dragons, and skrut. As
far as I could see the only thing
that they were raising was a cup.
"The library was by next stop.
Here was the logical place to find
the culprit. Much to my amaze-ment,
however, the tomb-like si-lence
was so oppressive that
studying was very difficult if not
impossible. Down in the stacks,
I thought. Surely there I would
find a booker. But no. Only more
students considering the finer
points of Bass's law.
"Time was getting short. Mid-quarters
were drawing nearer and
nearer. I began to wonder if I
would be able to find the bounder
before he was able to cause so
much grief to so many students.
Then I made an important discov-ery.
"I had made a trip up to Car-penter
to the Penguin Fights drug
store to get some No-Doze pills
but they were all out. Some bloke
had bought all they had-376
boxes of them. Suddenly I had it!
Who would use 376 boxes of No-
Doze pills ? Nobody would—unless
he wanted to stay up exactly 217 1/4
hours and/or wanted No-Doze
pills out of circulation. The cus-tomer
had been in 21/4 hours be-fore
and it was just 215 hours un-til
mid-quarters would be over.
The rest was merely routine to
locate the curve razor. He lived
on the edge of town and was so
sharp that many of the kids had
had close shaves with him. Yes,
even though he was quite a blade
we nicked him pretty badly and
he ended up in the can."

Visitors at the 1955 Careers festival follow their interests through the maze of more than 100
booths. This year these booths will represent 55 different vocational areas ranging from the profes-sions
to utilities. They will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
A double emphasis on vocations is being featured this week in the
Careers festival held at St. Thomas college, April 10-12, and Vocations
week held on Bethel's campus, April 9-13.
The careers festival is sponsored by the College of St. Thomas,
with the cooperation of Augsburg college, Bethel college, College of
St. Catherine, Hamline Universi-ty,
and Macalester college. There
will be 100 exhibits booths repre-senting
all of the major employ-ment
fields. At Bethel's own booth
Bonnie Carlson and Glenn Ogren,
members of the planning commit-tee,
will be present to give infor-mation.
The emphasis on vocations this
week at Bethel is to be presented
in the form of the morning chapel
services, with messages given on
the topic, "What my Vocation
Means to Me as a Christian."

Vocations week in this way is
an innovation at Bethel. In pre-vious
years, special forums have
been held in the evenings. How-ever,
this new type of vocational
emphasis, working together with
the -Careers festival, promises cer-tain
advantages.
The purpose of Careers festival
is to offer vocational guidance to
the young people of this area
through the medium of exhibits,
films, literature and conferences
in an informal yet serious atmo-sphere
and aesthetic setting. They
will be able to obtain at first

After Elections - -
Well, now that Ogren has been elected the most popular man on
campus, the question is, "Will he improve the Senate or will he just
close his eyes to its weaknesses?" Because, although it was asserted
in the last Student association meeting that the student government has
been good this year, there are many glaring weaknesses in it at the
present time.
For one thing, if the Student Senate is to be worth while, the stu-dents
must feel that it is their governing body and that they are repre-sented
on it. How can this be so when many of the Senate members
are not responsible to anyone but are appointed by the Senate?
We feel that functional representation should be entirely elimin-ated.
For instance, the CLARION should not have a voting representa-tive
on the Senate, although a reporter should be allowed to cover
meetings. And the council chairmen should not have votes because they
are appointed by the Senate, not chosen by the electorate.
For another thing, the Senate—we feel—should be cut down to
nine or ten members. This would allow the members to be known by
the people they represent; it would give their position prestige; and
it would make for more efficiency. Furthermore, it would allow the
students to hold their representatives responsible. They would be able
to buttonhole their representative and demand action on social life,
intra-murals, cultural activities or whatever they are interested in.
We feel, Mr. Ogren, that these two changes would give the Senate
back to the people and that this is necessary if we are to have good
student government at Bethel.
On Academic Freedom
(Editor's note: Following is a reprint of an NSA editorial written
by the editor of the Texas university "Daily Texan.")
We look upon the Regent's pressure for a stricter interpretation
of the Texas Student Publications Handbook and their order of "closer
scrutiny" on editorial matter as a fundamental threat to the 55-year
Daily Texan tradition . . .
Freedom of inquiry, criticism, and nonconformity are guaranteed
in our state and federal constitutions now almost 200 years old. It is
ironic, however, that each generation has to regain these liberties for
itself. But this is not wholly a misfortune. For there are dangers in
taking too much for granted. Freedoms defended are the most precious
of freedoms; liberties lost and regained are the most cherished of liber-ties.
And doomed is the generation that lacks integrity to protect its
birthright.
If we falter here at this University, by surrendering the right
reaJm so broad_ as state government, s,, r-rendering
under the pretext of preserving the "good name" of the
University and protecting it financially, we will have absolved the very
principles upon which this university, this newspaper, a hundred uni-versities
and a hundred newspapers are constructed.
What man can ask us to do that?
Yet far too many Americans interpret our liberty as merely abstract
principle rather than real conduct. It is our conduct that must preserve
the principle .. .
Henry Steele Commager, the great historian, has traced the broad
implications of our trouble.
We have been busy of late, Commager says, calculating our
strength and the strength of our potential enemies, the totalitarian
states.
Whatever may be this balance of strength, he believes, there is
one realm where our superiority is beyond challenge, and where it
cannot be lost except by our own will. "Ours is a system of freedom,"
he writes, "freedom of inquiry, of investigation, of criticism, of crea-tion.
So, if then, in the name of security, loyalty, politics, or appropria-tions,
we start sacrificing our freedom, we will ultimately sacrifice
our security as well. It is not logical that on the campuses of our
American universities, traditional guardians of our practical and philo-sophical
liberties, we should prove to the world and to ourselves that
free expression and human rights are not only workable but necessary?
The moment our philosophy bows before the fear of politics or money,
or both, on a university campus, we are doomed as a nation and as a
way of life.

Prepared
Preparing for the mission field isn't just learning a strange lan-guage
and being immersed in Scriptures though that may be highly
important. Grace Jolly, Edmonton, Alberta Canadian, will admit to
the truth of this not only in word but in action, too. Having been a
teacher for some time and graduated from Bible school, Grace came
to Bethel last fall to complete her college education. These all have
contributed in her path to missions. But there are other factors.
One is a basic interest in people whose culture and background are
different from ours—just start her talking of "Granny" Dick Calahoo
and the Cree indians or that "swell little Chinese fellow Charlie Huey."
At popular demand she has offered to share her exotic Chinese recipes!!
Also, Grace has a quiet, seeking soul—one that you can't help
realizing as being in some dynamic way in quest of reality and truth
and joy, and she believes it is in Christ.
Lastly, she has proved to students and faculty, in spite of her
insisting she is not ambitious, she can and does work and work hard.
Still she can find time to have a cup of coffee and win many friends
and admirers.
Some missionary, huh?
Slott ear
by Marjory Peterson
Spring has turned quite a few heads at Bethel. A new hair-do is
the basic criteria for being "in the club." While most of these trans-formations
are purchased at great price from a Frenchman named
Anthony or Mike, some have that hand-made look. These arrangements
reveal character traits otherwise carefully hidden.
The Chinese hair-do is occasionally seen. It has that chop-chop
look. This girl is thrifty. She cuts her own hair. The effect is lovely
except for the long spot in the middle of the back where she can't quite
reach, and the one-inch cut on the side which happened accidentally
when her buzzer rang. (That was an accident also.)
The long, very flowing locks indicate either that this is a glamour
girl or that this thinks it is a glamour girl. Before deciding, check the
weather—the streaming effect could also be the result of a rain storm.
By far the most popular style is the swept-back chignon with cal-culated
side waves. This originated for the "heavy-date" occasion, but
has since become more common. Now it also could denote spring fever
or an experiment in self-expression. The girl who adopts this hair-do
may have a split personality.
More revolutionary is the non-parted look. This is carried out
with a mass of baby curls or else the straight back long, lean, look. This
hair-do is favored by girls with hysterical tendencies.
An amateur psychoanalyst would have a field day with these
styles and their many subtle variations. For myself, I prefer the crew-cut.

Moberg, Voight
Present Paper
A paper entitled "The Protestant
Minister and Social Work," pre-pared
by David 0. Moberg, chair-man
of the department of social
sciences and Russell Voight, sem-inary
student, will be presented
on Friday, April 13 at the annual
meeting of the Midwest sociological
society.
The paper was prepared on the
basis of a research project Russell
did in the spring of 1954 for a

Dear Editor:
Re: your last editorial concern-ing
the "library problem." It ap-pears
to us that your evaluation
of the action taken by the library
staff, upon the recommendation of
the library subcommittee, was in-effective
and certainly did not get
at the real problem.
Your proposed solution of heavy-handed
discipline frocri the outside
—"hired private detectives"—and
the implied kiddishness of the stu-dents
is, we think, harsh and in-sulting.
Maybe Bethel students are
babies, but a dictator sitting in
the librarian's office will not help
us grow up.
We believe that it is not neces-sarily
a matter of immaturity. It
seems to be more a matter of tra-dition.
The letter by J. M. bears
this idea out, I think. Noise, fel-lowship
and the library have been
synonymous for years and "our
examples"—the seminarians—who
have spent a larger while here just
take these things to be self evident
and they are most casual about the
whole matter.
But the attempts of the library
subcommittee haven't been a big
useless fiasco, we think. These
mechanical improvements—moving
the phonographs and art viewers,
moving the pencil sharpener, quiet-ening
the telephones—may seem
superficial but now rowdies can be
showed up more easily. It is hard
to hear that noisy knock in the
motor if the whole car rattles.
Besides this—and this we feel
is a great step—the studen'c now
have a seat in the faculty library
committee. So what? ? It means
that students ARF concerned about
a quiet library and we are grown
up enough to be able to do some-thing
about it and the faculty com-mittee
apparently thinks so too.

Because You have made me, God,
and because You have made this
day I would now commit both into
Your watchful care.
I am too easily dragged along
by time. Today I would stand up
and walk with it, with my eye to
You and my hands to those who
will be a part of my life this day.
Help me to be more concerned
about being a friend than having
one.
Help me to be thankful for the
boiled potatoes and the surprise
tests.
Help me to find You, God, in
everything I do. And having found
You, let me enjoy You.
Help me to be satisfied that You
give me all I need, and dissatis-fied
if I do not do all I can with it.
And when this day closes, God, I
want to know that someone is
happier because I lived.
I've come to You with all of this
because of Jesus Christ.
Amen
New Display
In Center
Etchings and life sketches from
the University of Minnesota art
gallery were placed in the student
center last week by the art depart-ment.
The etchings in the lounge are
by Gian Battista Piranesi, an 18
century engraver who spent many
years in Rome making etchings of
the ruins.
Ivan Mestrovic, a contemporary
Yugoslavian sculpter, has his work
displayed in the eating area.
The University gallery is located
in the Northrup auditorium build-ing.

The student body is urged to support this year's baseball team.
The first two games are to be played at Hamline and Macalester. Both
of these fields are within convenient distances. The boost in morale
which this would give the team would show up in the box score.
* * * *
The infield of this year's Royal squad will be considerably increased
in its potential power. This along with some increased hitting power
should give some insurance to the squad for a winning season.
* *
The pitching staff will be overworked this year, as most of the
work will be shouldered by Al Stahnke and Mark Nyberg.
*
The lease with the Fair Board and the advent of warm weather
has reduced the hazards involved in entering the fieldhouse during
the past week.

Anyone wishing to challenge Mr. Healy to a badminton game can
breathe easier. Mr. Healy recently had an attack of consciencitis and
refuses to bloop any over the net, (unless he's behind).

ROYALS GET SET FOR OPENER FRIDAY
Tennis Courts Tried;
Golf Workouts Begin
The golf and tennis teams fol-lowed
suit to the rest of the teams
as they began their workouts
outside.
The tennis team held their first
workout on the new courts Tues-day.
Although still a little damp,
the courts gave returning letter-men
Al Mesko, Hank Pedersen,
and Bob Fischer the opportunity
to loosen up. The tentative list of
newcomers to the tens squad in-cludes
Bob Swanson, Terry Bot-tenfield,
Bob Shields, Ken Fuller,
Bill Lathrop, Jim MacFadyen and
Phil Caldeen.
The golf squad behind return-ing
lettermen Bill Conrad, Bill
Larson and George Visel began
working out in preparation for
their first encounter. Bob Humes
and Terry Bottenfield have also
been with the team.
The schedules for 1956 activity
follow.

Larson Elected
Baseball Captain
Dale Larson, co-captain last
year, was chosen captain of this
year's baseball team again.
After playing shortstop for two
years, he is being shifted to sec-ond
base where he played in high
school.
While Dale was a good short-stop,
he is without doubt a better
second baseman since he will not
have to worry about the throws to
first. As far as hitting, he slugged
about .350 last year.
Team Moves Outside
The Bethel Royal baseball nine
finally saw daylight as they held
their first outdoor practice session
of the 1956 season.
The Lundin men took to the
great outdoors for their practice
session on April 3, as they pre-pare
to meet Hamline in their
first tilt of the new season.
The Royals got their share of
fielding practice, as Lundin primed
his charges for their season opener.
The infield, which during practice,
has seen Jack Kibby at first, Dale
Larson on the keystone, Bob Sin-gleton
at shortstop, Ken Albright
on third and Ed Brunzell behind
the plate, went through their first
unrestricted drills.
The outfield also got an arm
loosening session as Wes Larson
in right, Jack Tierney in center,
and John Berg in left sharpened
their throwing.
The Royals begin their season
as they face Hamline on the Piper
field, Friday, April 13. Their sec-ond
tilt of the new season will find
the Bethel nine tangling with Mac-alester,
on the Mac's field.
The prospects are for a stronger
infield with increased hitting power
over last year's crew. With the
loss of Frank Burleson, the pitch-ing
staff will have their work cut
out for them. Mark Nyberg and Al
Stahnke are expected to see ex-tensive
action on the mound.
The schdeule is as follows:
April 13—Hamline—T-2:30 p.m.
14—Macalester—T-3 p.m.
18—Bethany—H-1:30 p.m.

Moves Over To
Fair Grounds
The Royal cindermen under the
direction of Coach Gerald Healy,
also made their move to the out-side
practice track on Tuesday.
The team utilized for the first
time the newly acquired lease with
the Minnesota State Fair board.
The new area gives sufficient space
for the track men to work out on.
The workouts have consisted
mainly of fundamental condition-ing
along with some work on indi-vidual
events. Al Hanson, Dave
Merin, Don Bachman, Beryl Mun-son
and Dick Bogue have been
working out regularly in prepara-tion
for the coming entry April 21,
in the Carleton relays.

"Alimentary, my dear Katsup,

called to Bethel college and mon-astery

curve-raising.
"Upon arriving at about 11:45
Saturday night, I picked an in-conspicuous
spot in the doorway

Bass' law that opposite bodies
should attract.' At 12 o'clock the
law was repealed and the scene
was soon deserted.
"As the next day was Sunday,
I went to Bedside Baptist where I
saw several Bethel students dream-ily
engrossed in the minister's
sermon on "Heavenly Rest." After
a quiet evening at sister Fern's
I sacked in for a good night's
sleep in preparation for a hard
day's work.
"Next morning I took up my
post in the coffee shop, but I
couldn't understand the language.
They kept talking about bears,
frights, dragons, and skrut. As
far as I could see the only thing
that they were raising was a cup.
"The library was by next stop.
Here was the logical place to find
the culprit. Much to my amaze-ment,
however, the tomb-like si-lence
was so oppressive that
studying was very difficult if not
impossible. Down in the stacks,
I thought. Surely there I would
find a booker. But no. Only more
students considering the finer
points of Bass's law.
"Time was getting short. Mid-quarters
were drawing nearer and
nearer. I began to wonder if I
would be able to find the bounder
before he was able to cause so
much grief to so many students.
Then I made an important discov-ery.
"I had made a trip up to Car-penter
to the Penguin Fights drug
store to get some No-Doze pills
but they were all out. Some bloke
had bought all they had-376
boxes of them. Suddenly I had it!
Who would use 376 boxes of No-
Doze pills ? Nobody would—unless
he wanted to stay up exactly 217 1/4
hours and/or wanted No-Doze
pills out of circulation. The cus-tomer
had been in 21/4 hours be-fore
and it was just 215 hours un-til
mid-quarters would be over.
The rest was merely routine to
locate the curve razor. He lived
on the edge of town and was so
sharp that many of the kids had
had close shaves with him. Yes,
even though he was quite a blade
we nicked him pretty badly and
he ended up in the can."
